a la cart means that you get to pick and choose what you want from whats "on the cart" as opposed to a predefined 7 course meal.

Yes, it has been fixed in the new beta. I tried it last night and it works fine with a game started as a Meta game.
Congrats V on a great score. Good luck on the step up. So, FC. Does this mean you get to tell the cook what you want for dinner?
Not only is it unclear and undocumented, it is not good game play.
Congrats to all who post in the Diplomat's Meta. Every littls point counts just as much as the 500 point games.
But I feel that disabling a farm building with spy should not immidiately kill all the extra population enabled by farm building. Instead it should give negative pop growth instead for some reason the quote is not working on my machine, but I agree with the above, when you delete a farm on a planet you capture because there are too many, or for what ever reason, you don't kill off the population right away. People just leave until it gets down to the level the planet can support.
I think is is called Counter Espionage Center
Congrats on the Bomb, Purge. It is always a pleasure to acknowledge the peace keeping efforts of a fellow Diplomat.
I agree that this 29K cap is a problem and a nuisance. As FC said, you end up spending all your money so that you don't loose it. This forces you to build up unreasonable numbers of ships that are never needed or used and pushes the military score skyhigh. But, if that is what you have to do to play the game, then it is not really a real time strategy game. It is a micromanaged monopoly game.
DaMoose appears to be hibernating for the winter. I am sure he will wake up someday.
Oh, btw, I did not find the post hard to read. It wasn't written in Swahili, which I can't read at all.
I don't consider this either an exploit or a cheat. It is just part of the game. One doesn't consider the extra bonuses that the AI gets on the harder games to be an exploit or a cheat, so whey apply it to humans who discover the limits (or lack thereof) of the programming. There are a lot of features like this in the game. The Diplomats have a whole thread at the core dedicated to this type of thing.
Good morning all. DA froze up on me yesterday with no crash report available, so will just reboot and try some more. Wiped out the Yor with nary a problem. Got enough Yor armor to make a boat-load or butt protectors for visitors to the core.
Congrats all.
Good morning Diplomats. I see we are forging ahead. I should have a DA game to post soon.
Go for it Chip. We are only 90K points ahead of the baby seal killers.
People as a group - uh, how many does it take to make a group? 2 or more? So, from this I logically deduce that a person by himself is not stupid, but when he is with someone he becomes stupid. So, let's think about what it means to be "with someone" to become stupid. Does one have to physically be with someone to become stupid, or can one be virtually with someone and become stupid? If the latter and not the former, then consider all the posters here, including myself. We ARE Stupid. Thi
Why not just leave the speed as is. Its not broken, so why fix it.
Good evening Diplomats. Congrats to all on 1000 posts of immensly valuable information
Good morning Diplomats. Hope you all have a great weekend playing your favorite game.
Yes, they provide a good view into the game.
Welcome Purge. I have been playing around with DA. All the special planets with a custome race takes some getting used to. The AI with their inate ability to colonize them rush in and take them before I have the tech researched. Need to reanalyze my initial abilities, or play the Yor and not worry about it with their super abilities.
I don't like it much either, FC. Need to rethink the starting abilities so that one can colonize the demented planents. The AI swoop in and gobble them all up before I can even research the appropriate tech.
Good morning Space Rangers - oops, wrong board Good morning Diplomats. Today is the middle of the week, soon work will be over and the weekend of toaster making will be upon us.
Good morning all, and welcome Mascrinthus. Great game youp posted. Keep it up and remeber to play for fun.
